Just read this out loud to my wife.

I LOL’d when I read their email. So many noobs buying the wrong ammo

I read it out loud to my wife just now. She giggled and said “didn’t you say a few months ago that there were a lot of people about to find out the hard way the difference between 9mm makarov and 9mm luger?”
I obviously stole that from someone here on NES a while back and mentioned it in passing. She remembered though, which is concerning in it’s own right...

Props to whoever said it, I feel like it was Enbloc, but I could be wrong.

Edit- I was wrong and Enbloc always gets the credit.

It was August 25th and @Billy2

I wonder how many people are gonna learn the difference between 9mm luger and 9mm Makarov the hard way

I remember we were joking back in August about people buying blanks not knowing too

Bought 1,000 rounds of .17 HMR last week for $240 (I let my prime lapse in aug). The CZ 457 should be in this weekend/early next week.

saw some .223 at target sports last week for $700 / 1000 ; the .17 HMR ammo and rifle combined are a little less.

Larry P has 9mm Blazer Brass for $559.99 per case.

the 9 is taking a few more seconds to clear out now. Plateau?

A few more seconds .

Cant wait to see some prices on here the night before the election. 9 will be $2 / rd

 

[slugworth]

Jesus they get the worst ammo lately.

 

[Deplorable]

hours, actually. And another warehouse I monitor does not seem to move a lot at ~$37 a box for the past week (used to be wiped out quickly in September) and started to slash prices up to 13%. Matches ammopricesnow.com data, which shows a downtrend since the mid of September. Still doubt we will see back to normal anytime soon.

 

[boilermaker]

I know we comment on the price increases here, but that Federal Training stuff was $0.33 / rd on July 24. I was amazed at the price back then and where it has gone since.

Imagine how long these people spent messing with their sights because they couldn't even hit the paper.

If you ever see someone unknowingly shooting blanks at the range, be sure to put a few rounds through their target to really mess with them

 

[MaxStravinsky]

Anybody think that if Biden wins, this could be the new normal, or even...the good old days?

I want to keep buying, but I'm not sure if I can bring myself to pay $25 a box for more than a box or two,.....

 

[TrashcanDan]

9's still sitting there, amazingly enough at .60 a rd.
Thought that would have all been dried up by now

and it still says 99+ for cases too. Maybe they found a loaded boxcar on a siding somewhere.

 

[Quantavious G]

I can see the shocked silence descending upon the TSA warehouse when they realize the 9 is still sitting there after 10 minutes. Noone daring to whisper the question that weighs heavily on everyone's mind.........."Is it over?..................."

Who has to tell the CEO?

 

[hminsky]

How long did it take for supply to recover after the Sandy Hook scare? I can't remember clearly but seemed like a year or two.

 

[cathouse01]

The 9 is still sitting there at $.55 per round, that’s a whole day! Just for grins I looked back at my old orders to find the last time I bought CCI Blazer 9mm from them. It was back in June of ’18 and I paid $8.73 per box of 50 - seventeen and a half cents a round. Glad I bought a lot.

More like 2 years from what I remember, but this is far worse than I remember sandy hook panic being.

Plus if Biden wins and the senate flips, then this is going to push the panic even more.

We are nowhere near the end of this.

 

[TrashcanDan]

Well shit fire to save matches.
Its still there.

It wasn't even that long ago for me....granted it's PMC bronze, but 18c (well .20 with shipping) per round Mid March this year

I begrudgingly had to buy some last night because I am scheduled for some training classes in a few weeks and I just found out they won't let me shoot my reloads. I wish I had known/realized that when we made plans 6 months ago to take the classes and I could have grabbed a bunch back when it was considerably cheaper.

 

[grombear]

What class won't let you shoot reloads?

This bell curve is only accurate with the backdrop of pre Covid hysteria. It would look like a skateboard ramp launching everyone off to the right side these days, as to even buy any ammo now you need to have low "price sensitivity" (ie. beggars can't be choosers). So the "most" consumers are all huddled around the right side of this chart.

 

[Amputee Marksman]

What class won't let you shoot reloads?

Heading down to Delta Defense in South Carolina to take 3 days of advanced defensive pistol classes. We are going to do some low/no light shooting, going to do some stuff on room/building clearing etc. There's a group of us going and one of the guys is friends with one of the owners. Basically we are going to be test subjects for some new class material/exercises and also have some of the time open for whatever we want to work on. These classes are not open to the public. Just found out yesterday they would prefer if I shot factory ammo and leave the reloads at home.

Does anyone know when you get your yearly gift/ammo? Is it around the same time you signed up for prime?
